singlenarrative

A singlenarrative is a storytelling approach in which a single narrative voice or point of view is used to tell a story. This can be contrasted with a multilinear or multiperspectival approach, where multiple narrative voices or perspectives are employed to convey the story. In a singlenarrative, the reader or viewer is presented with a unified and cohesive account of events, often through the eyes of a single character or narrator.

Singlenarratives can be further categorized into first-person, second-person, and third-person narratives, depending on the perspective from which the story is told. First-person narratives, for example, are told from the perspective of the protagonist or a character directly involved in the story, while third-person narratives employ a more distant perspective, often using words like "he" or "she" to refer to characters.

This storytelling approach can create a strong emotional connection between the reader or viewer and the narrative voice, as the reader is given a single and consistent perspective on events. However, singlenarratives can also limit the depth and complexity of the story, as the reader is only exposed to one perspective on characters and events.

Singlenarratives are commonly used in film, literature, and other forms of storytelling, where the goal is to create a clear and coherent narrative thread. Examples of films that employ a singlenarrative include "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Schindler's List", both of which use a single narrative voice to tell powerful and emotional stories.
